You can point at anyone's attempts at self-improvement and call it "spirituality." That's fine with me, since it gives people the freedom to apply it to anything, whether it involves gods or just plain old human ingenuity. If everything is spiritual, then spirituality is nothing special. Glad we settled that.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
